Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Codnor. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
About our bath re-enamelling in Codnor
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Codnor
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
